NEWARK, N.J. - PIERS, the standard in trade intelligence, today announced that it is transforming its print publications, Directory of U.S. Importers and Directory of U.S. Exporters, to two new online products of the same name. Used by small businesses, retailers, logistics providers and others, the Directories now offer easy digital access to identify thousands of companies involved in global trade.
These online tools provide several significant improvements over the previously issued print format. In addition to anytime, anywhere convenience, subscribers may now access 150% more content. Customers can retrieve company details associated with 150,000 importers and 50,000 exporters and quickly locate new customers, suppliers or competitors via a simple search interface. Additionally, data is refreshed semi-annually, providing more frequent updates to keep current on the evolving global trade environment.
"PIERS online Directories are a direct result of customer demand for more information in an intuitive digital form" says Gavin Carter, Executive Vice President of PIERS. "Instead of paging through an unwieldy 1800 page publication, the easy search and retrieval functionality provides customers expanded information within seconds. Our new format is a more environmentally responsible solution, while also meeting our customer's needs for current and comprehensive information."
Importer and exporter details can be searched by company name, location, by industry, Standard Industry Code (SIC) and keyword commodity description. Every listing provides a detailed picture of the company's trade activity and executive contact information.
The PIERS Directory of U.S. Importers and Directory of U.S. Exporters are two separate online products that can be purchased together or separately on an annual subscription basis. Current customers are being upgraded to the online version; the print version will no longer be offered. A special promotional rate is in effect until January 1, 2011.
